EBT - ESPboy Tracker v1.1 WIP demo (Freezing Point) shiru8bit 2023-11-01 | This is a small demo of my recent project, a chiptune LSDj-esque tracker for an ESP8266-powered tiny portable DIY platform called ESPboy. It isn't a direct LSDj clone, though, and the sound is heavily influenced with the modern 1-bit ZX Spectrum developments. Also available as a Windows build, with portable source code.The stereo sound that you can hear here is all software generated with the ESP8266 and produced without any extra hardware such as i2s DAC, via crude software PWM, custom designed for this tracker. Recorded directly from ESP8266 pins into a Zoom R8 multi-track recorder, no processing applied.Check out v1.0: http://shiru.untergrund.net/files/ebt_tracker.zip
